setVariable Trouble

[JAC3085]

OK,

I'm having a lot of trouble with CS3 and AS3 with setVariable.

In my actionscript on frame 1 I have

import SWFKit.*;


myTest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, testFunction);
myTest.buttonMode = true;
myTest.mouseChildren = false;

function testFunction (MouseEvent){

Global.invoke("apppath");

}


in my scripts in swfkit, I have the following

apppath

var cdpath = getAppDir();

FlashPlayer.setVariable("root.thePath.text", cdpath);


If I try another command in swfkit it works, I can close the windows and do function I just can't return info to Flash. I've read the forums a few times and understand that you must use synchronous calling but I need a bit of help to get there. If someone could be so kind?

Thanks!

In AS3 you can get the values directly, so don't use setVariable

thePath.text = Global.getAppDir();
